Hello Joya!

Thanks for your interest in my gutter garden design. My blog is in the midst of being redesigned so I can't really write a blog post about it. However, I will add some photos with comments to my Nest In Style Facebook Page (name of my new blog).

You can contact Feeney by calling 800-888-2418 and ask to buy the Feeney Cross Clamps.

Hello everyone, I'm the one who built the gutter garden featured here. I wanted to reply to some of the comments and clear a few things up. (1) There are drainage holes about every 2" on the bottom of every gutter, and it drains great - no roots sitting in water. (2) I live in Oregon and I watered the gutters every day, and it did fine. NOTE: this was a fall - not summer - project. (3) probably not best for dry, arid climates. (3) Shallow rooted edibles, select annual flowers, and yes, even roots veggies (radishes, Tonda di Parigi carrots, beets 'bulls blood') grew just fine in this system. Harvest while they're young and tender. (4) This project is not meant to be your main garden, just a fun DIY project that's living and edible. (5) I have a new and improved model that is more stable, and the gutters can be removed and replaced A LOT easier. I'll post a new how-to when the weather gets better. (6) If you're a plant-it-leave-it kind of gardener, then this isn't the project for you. But if it's the only "green" thing you have, it's worth the extra attention.
